I saw that in the extra security lane at the tunnel about 6:30am on the 4th Oct. I didn't get selected for extra examination so ended up well ahead, didn't say hello but it looked very nice. Thought with the 10,000 miles they just got stuck on the peripherique. Laughing Laughing

It must be coils rather than air suspension as it looks like it sits very low at the back in all the photos.

One less thing to have gone wrong!

Very impressive trip. Current -
